El Salpatx (Medes) – Catalonia – Costa Brava & Medes Islands

Site Overview

El Salpatx is a Medes Islands site famed for dense schools of jack and dentex that swirl over the rocky reef in clear, protected water. Groupers and barracuda add to the action, and the current that concentrates the fish makes for thrilling wide-angle diving. Intermediate and advanced divers enjoy the schooling spectacle, while the reserve’s health ensures abundant life. El Salpatx is a highlight for fish-watchers in the Medes. The site rewards careful planning, good buoyancy and respect for Spain’s marine-protection rules, and remains a favourite among divers who value dramatic volcanic or Mediterranean scenery, historic wrecks and rich marine life across a long, varied season.
